In the Quran, unlike the edited sacred texts of the other messengers, we have the direct guidance of Allah sent as revelations over a period of 23 years to Prophet Muhammad. In this small book the author has made a selection of direct commands, orders from Allah that apply to each one of us, male or female, old or young, clever or simple, rich or poor. They are not random choices. They are the things that Allah specially wishes us to do.

Indeed, all praise is for Allah: we praise Him, repent to Him, and seek His forgiveness and help. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our selves and of our wicked deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides, none can lead astray; and whomsoever Allah leaves astray, none can guide. And I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah alone, and He has no partner; and I bear witness that our Prophet Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. 0 Allah, send many blessings and salutations upon him, his family, and his Companions until the Day of judgement. O mankind be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person, and from him He created his wife, and from them both He created many men and women; and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights), and (do not cut the relations of) the wombs (kinship). Surely, Allah is Ever and All-Watcher over you 0 you who believe! Keep your duty to Allah and fear Him, and speak (always) the truth. He will direct you to do righteous good deeds and will forgive you your sins. And whosoever Dl (Aal 7mran 3: 102) ~'1 (An-Nisa' 4:1)

Discovering Islam From Its Original Sources

  (2 reviews)

Of the many books explaining Islam, few are specifically concerned with the problems that confront those coming towards the faith from a Christian background. More over, the author has noted a tendency among certain Muslim zealots to ignore the common background of the Abrahamic faiths - Judaism, Christianity and Islam and to label nonMuslim worshippers as Kuffar, non-believers. This book contains four sections: Christianity and Islam (specific theological differences and concurrences); the religious beliefs of Islam explained; the religious duties of Islam explained; and answers to some of the questions most frequently asked by non-Muslims about Islam. It is well-known that religions are often judged unfairly by the limitations and transgressions of their most extreme, most ignorant, and most outlandish members. The author humbly submits this text as an introduction to the theology and practice of Islam and as an attempt to explode some of the false impressions that surround it. Ruqaiyyah Waris Maqsood gained an honours degree in Christian Theology from the University of Hull in 1963. She went on to become a writer and the Head of Religious Studies at various state schools until her retirement in 1996. She converted to Islam in 1986 and now lectures and writes on Islam.
